Playing against nits

by remoh

Especially on the micro limits, you will not only run into complete maniacs, but you will also often be confronted with the exact opposite player type, the so-called nit. Those players distinguish themselves by the fact that they will usually only put a lot of money at stake if they are convinced that they're holding the best hand.
